This bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to publish a plan within 30 days to help veterans and separating service members get jobs in trucking, shipping, rail, and port work. The plan must identify hiring barriers, map workforce needs, and recommend actions across four federal departments.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 3055: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill primarily affects veterans and service members who are leaving the military and looking for civilian jobs, especially in transportation and logistics. It also affects supply chain employers who may struggle to recruit and retain workers. Federal agencies including Transportation, Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Labor would need to coordinate on the plan and potentially act on its recommendations.
Why this matters: Many veterans leave the military with skills that match transportation and logistics jobs, but there's no single federal plan connecting them to these roles. Supply chain industries have ongoing worker shortages, especially in trucking and port operations. This bill tries to bridge that gap by forcing the government to map out the problems and propose concrete solutions, though its real impact depends on whether anyone acts on the plan.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
